About this sunscreen

Helia-D Officina Youth Concept Rich Anti-Wrinkle Cream is an SPF 20 anti-aging cream with a small hybrid filter pairing of octinoxate and Uvinul A Plus. It wears with a balanced finish, low white cast, and a lightweight feel, does not sting, and is low on the pore-clogging scale, though its makeup-base role is rated only okay. SPF 20 is generally a light, everyday level rather than full sun defense, which fits its moderate protection rating. It scores 69.1/100.
